WE HAD NOT BEEN IN PASADENA FOR MANY YEARS. LOCATION WAS PERFECT. AND THANK GOODNESS WE THOUGHT TO REQUIRE PARKING ON SITE. THERE IS LIMITED PARKING IN MOST NEARBY AREAS.

Location was great and the room was very clean and beds where comfortable. Staff was very friendly and they were even able to check us in earlier than expected which was great for us since our conference started at 2pm at the convention center.

I loved how there was a vending machine on my floor, loved the key card access, and loved how it wasn't too far from anything.

Located close to Old Pasadena, the staff is helpful and friendly, the speediest check in and check out, very good breakfast, clean, had a microwave in the room. Great shopping! Three movie theaters nearby.

My Daughter and I stayed here while attending a conference. This hotel was so close to where we needed to be. Room was very clean and comfortable. It was quiet for us to sleep and the shower was great. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The price and cleanliness.

Free parking, not too much noise, and a perfect distance from the center of Pasadena. The price was good for a king sized bed that came with a mini fridge and a microwave. Check in and out was super easy too. Your average continental breakfast was there too.

The Vagabond Inn Executive Pasadena hotel is conveniently located in downtown Pasadena's business district, on Colorado Boulevard, on the Rose Bowl Parade route, in the heart of Pasadena.

In January 2008 the hotel went under complete renovation, including new furniture, linens, bathroom fixtures, and brand new lobby. This newly renovated hotel offers 54 spacious rooms with the majority having interior hallways.

Its prime location allows guests to be right in the middle of all the excitement of the Annual Rose Parade, this property is best known as the "Gateway to the Rose Bowl."

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

The room is too small, no closet, only one open rack in the bathroom where the luggage is exposed to humidity, no place for the toiletries, clean but very old worn linens, our room (the door) was in a very close proximity to the other two rooms, felt no privacy.

Located close to Old Pasadena, the staff is helpful and friendly, the speediest check in and check out, very good breakfast, clean, had a microwave in the room. Great shopping! Three movie theaters nearby.

The tv was a bit difficult to figure out, but after about 10 minutes or so we got it to change the channel and get the volume up. Instructions for this would have been helpful.

Wifi was choppy and kept giving out for a few seconds at a time. I needed a good connection so this was a bit annoying.
Room was clean and smelled fresh, but there were some weird mould-like stains in the wall by the shower. They looked like they'd been scrubbed but wouldn't fade. Didn't bother me, but might be an issue for you.

Location is great for CalTech, and Old Town Pasadena is walkable in about 30 minutes. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was comfortable and the price was decent compared with others in the area. I needed to extend my stay and I chose to stay here. Recommended.
